| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Persistent extreme to exceptional drought conditions across much of the state combined with increasing heat going into the summer months promoted a favorable environment for wildfires. These conditions led to the rapid growth of a wildfire that started on June 4th near Superior, Arizona, which became known as the Telegraph Fire. The Telegraph Fire became one of the largest wildfires in state history after burning thousands of acres. The wildfire resulted in numerous road closures and evacuations and burned multiple structures before becoming fully contained in early July. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Telegraph Fire began as a human-caused wildfire south of Superior, Arizona. The wildfire quickly grew and led to multiple extended road closures, which included Highway 177 between Superior and Winkelman, Highway 77 between Globe and Winkelman, and Highway 60 between Superior and Top-Of-The-World. In addition to the road closures, evacuation orders were issued for multiple communities, including Superior, Top-Of-The-World, El Capitan, and portions of Miami and Globe. Increasing monsoonal activity toward the end of June and into early July provided some aid in extinguishing the wildfire. The Telegraph Fire became fully contained by July 6th after burning 180,757 acres and becoming the 6th largest wildfire in Arizona history. No injuries or fatalities were reported as a result of the wildfire, but 52 structures were reported to have burned with 22 of those structures reported to have burned in El Capitan. |
